Well, geeze, he won 2 million and the government took a little more than half, so this OLD fella only has almost a million dollars to live the rest of his life on. Gosh, give'em a break, guy's gotta eat!

Seriously, how many people WISHED they had to deal with winning 2 million bux with the government taking a little more than half of this FREE MONEY away from you in taxes? I mean, damn, I could live quite happily on $900,000 for the rest of my life WITHOUT any financial subsidies!

I was the single mom working two (or more) jobs that the news guy mentioned so I cannot think everyone who needs help is horrible . . . and I hate to think anyone would ever put me in the same category with that guy.

Donna, I'm pretty sure you aren't the kind of person who would continue to accept help after you could help yourself.

And Scott, I'm sure you're mistaken.... I heard some democrats just this morning saying that there is no abuse in the system. And one in 7, well that would be one or two people abusing the system.

No! It was so awful for me and I'm so, so happy that I am in a position NOW that I don't need any assistance.
